Hospital Investigates Porter Claim

St Patrick's Mental Health Services has confirmed it has received an official complaint in relation to Al Porter.

The Hospital's now investigating the claim.

Last weekend the Sunday Times reported allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against Al Porter while engaging in an awareness-raising event at St Patricks Mental Health Services.

In a press statement St Patricks said that no allegations, complaints or concerns had been made to them by service users or staff in respect of Mr Porter, and encouraged people to come forward to Gardai.

Since issuing that press release, St Paricks says it has now received a complaint.

The organisation says its currently investigating it in line with its policies and procedures.

They say there will be no further statements until the investigation is complete.
